A paraplegic ex-marine war veteran is unwillingly sent to establish a human settlement on the distant planet of Pandora, only to find himself battling humankind alongside the planet's indigenous Na'vi race in "Avatar," an ambitious digital 3-D sci-fi epic from Academy Award-winning Titanic director James Cameron.

The film, which hits theaters tomorrow, was nominated for several Golden Globe awards: Best Feature (drama), Director (James Cameron), Best Score (James Horner), and Best Original Song ("I Will See You.") The film will also compete for the Best Picture prize at the Critics' Choice Movie Awards.
